The Late Lion
The Lion King for the Sega Master System is a 2D action-platformer released at the very end of the life for the system. It is very similar to the 16-bit versions of this game, but with some changes in order to fit it on ... Read Full Review

Lion Kings mechanics just feel broken throughout most of the game.
The first time I played the Lion King as a kid I really enjoyed it, sure I could only get to the second level, but I just enjoyed playing it. So my opinion couldn't change right? Nope, this game is pretty d@mn bad let me... Read Full Review

Awesome game that reminds me of my childhood.
Gameplay: The gameplay in The Lion King is based on the movie of the same name. You play as Simba, and have to play through different levels which are all based on scenes in the movie. The levels were all different and s... Read Full Review

A hard game to beat, but a great game to play.
I had rented the Super Nintendo version of this game as a kid and pretty much liked it. Then I had to take it back to the video game store as my days of rental were over. After that, I had gotten the Sega Genesis version... Read Full Review

Superb music and graphics meets absurdly difficult game play - welcome to hammer-fist city.
Storyline: You are Simba and your father is King Mufasa. Simba loves to go on adventures and roam around, but he's too young so Mufasa doesn't let him explore. Eventually evil uncle Scar murders King Mufasa and Simba ... Read Full Review

If you love platforming, The Lion King is top tier in an era where movie cash-ins were actually good.
In the 90's plat formers were king. I don't even have to list the countless plat formers released in that era for you to believe me - you already know the impact that Mario and Sonic made on the gaming world. Back then a... Read Full Review

don't be discouraged by the rating, its fun.
This game is fun and classic. I am a huge fan of lion king, so this reason why I gave it a small score is because it doesn't compare to TLK on the game boy color. But it does have a better soundtrack, this is one of the ... Read Full Review

This was one of the best games back in the day and it still is one of my all time favourites.
I recently bought this over Easter and have been playing it for quite a bit. I bought the new Mega-drive released by Blaze and after reading reviews about how the games don't work I wanted to test it for myself so the ob... Read Full Review

The Lion King is one of the great movie games that looks, plays, and sounds awesome.
The good: awesome challenging gameplay, great graphics and a memorable soundtrack. The bad: Deaths unexplained can be frustrating. Gameplay: 9/10 Graphics: 10/10 Sound: 9/10 Value: 10/10 Tilt: 10/10 Average Sc... Read Full Review

One of the best games based on a movie licence to be made to date! :D
This game came out at exactly the right place at exactly the right time! While Disney had been successful in the world of video games from 1987 to 1994, Disney knew that the writing was on the wall and that their success... Read Full Review
